EUR/USD manages to find fresh buying interest and regains the 1.2000 mark and beyond in the second half of the week.

The continuation of the move higher lower is seen meeting the initial support at the Fibo level (of the November-January rally) at 1.2064 on its way to the monthly peak at 1.2150 (April 29).

Below the 200-day SMA (1.1942) the stance for EUR/USD is seen shifting to negative.
